It seems like every important decision is made by HR, compliance or legal. This company has very little creative input from its associates.

If you think this was bad, just imagine the carnage we'll see if PepsiCo is truly acquired by another company. Especially if there are a lot of similar positions that can be easily consolidated. Nobody in their right mind should be cheering on any... — read more

Any news?

Smartspend, cutbacks, zero budget for social activities, and minuscule yearly payrises. Let’s face it, PepsiCo is no longer a ‘great place to work’. For those already at a certain level there is no incentive to work hard. Lots of colleagues are... — read more

Leadership made some very poor choices in who they laid off. There was no eye to the future and everyone who they kept will be retired in the next 2 years or so.

Anyone hearing another round of layoffs in November? If true, you have got to be kidding me. Why didn't they just do it this time. Heard it could be more field focused.
